TIE BRoTHER's STORY.

Samuel Hall, brother of accused /
saw the two having some words and
hitting at each other. Hall knocked
Enoch off with his fist, and there was a
rock and pistol near by. Spotswood
started for the rock and Hall picked
up the pistol and they both met. Then
Spotswood cursed and said, "Dont

Knocked it up with his hand and it
went of. Hall said, 60 Is the boy shot "

THE ACCUSED.
wORKING Up TIE CASE.

The case has been very diligently
worked up by Sergeants Whitlock and
Mathews. of the First station. Nearly
all the witnesses needed, though they
had scattered to the four winds of the
city, were secured.
Chief-of-Police Poe himself visited
the two upper stations, and, with de-
scription of the fugitive, put the men
on the alert. Hall, though he eluded
the officers for several hours, probably
could not have made good his escape
from the city, and he did the best thing
possible in surrendering himself.

A GRAVE INPUTATION
And One That the journal" Should
Promptly Correct.

Men who lie for the lust OF lying
and who lie when the truth would
better serve their purpose, sometimes
gain temporary access to type. and
succeed In having their falsehoods
published, whether designedly or un'
knowingly, remains in this present
case to be seen.
In a statement relative 10 deep sea
fishing, the Port Townsend CORE
spondent of the Portland Journal Of
Commerce Of the Doth inst, deliber-
ately utters the following falsehood:
Captain John Exon, an experienced
fisherman, started out Nov. 10, 1885, in
the schooner Fannie B. Lake, and before
any experiments had been made in deep
sea fishing, the schooner was wrecked
near the Columbia river entrance, and
himself and crew murdered.
This is a good specimen of gratui-
tous lying; the kind of lie that is in
dulged in for the pure love of it..
The schooner Carrie b. Lake was
carried in shore by the current, and
stranded near Shoalwater bay before
daylight on Sunday morning, January
3rd, 1886. 1t was Sunday morning
and the captain and all hands were in
the cabin at morning prayers. 1t
was an excellent practice, but it
is believed that il Captain Exon
had had someone watching while
he was praying, his vessel wouldn't
have drifted ashore in the fog and
darkness OF gloomy January morn
ing. He and two OF the crew were
drowned by the capsizing of boat
in which they tried to get ashore
Had they stayed by their vessel till
daylight they would have been saved.
Capt. AL. Harris and the life crew
from the cape, went there as soon as
they heard of the disaster and upon
reaching the stranded vessel took off
in safety the man who stayed by the
schooner.
That is all there's to 1t. 1t was
mishap occurring a considerable dis
tance from the Columbia river en-
trance. The assertion that the cap
tain "and his crew were murdered"
is terrible charge, and merits uni
versal condemnation. 1t Is a malig-
nant attempt to cast discredit and
guilt on the locality named and is a
dirty, cowardly trick. THE AsToRIAN
suggests that the Journal Of Com
Dlerce make full retraction. 1t had
no business to allow so grave an i'm
putation place in its columns. No
respectable paper admits correspond
ence without close scrutiny, and after
having apologized to all concerned
the Journal IF Commerce should in
stantly discharge from its employ the
cowardly hound who penned the
atrocious lie to which We give public
ity and emphatic denial.

A SeasOnable Topic.

In our grandfathers' days they
marked the flight of time by the "Old

Tie days in a year do not outnum-

Joke. all Round.

The fishermen of Oregon City have
been pestered a great deal lately by
thieves, who swOop down on their
nets by night and carry off their
salmon. One of them set watch the
other evening and his vigilance was
rewarded by trapping one Newton
Graham in the act. Graham laughed
heartily over the matter, and ex-
planned that the affair was no more
serious than a joke. The fisherman
was equally pleased-at his capture,
and in a jocular mood caused the ar
rest of Graham for larceny. The
justice of the peace before whom the
culprit was brought was a jolly fellow
and in a mirthful way fined Graham
for his exploit, the fine and costs
amounting to S32.-OregOnian, 2G.

THREE HOURS IN THE WATER
Fesc, ID By Two Girls Ne&. Three Ire,
Point.

Christmas afternoon three men
Leonard Raymond, Joe Flamboy and
John - started from Skamok-
wa in a sail boat to beat down the
Barbary coast. Ali went we'll till ne ar
Three Tree point, when a squall
struck the boat and she capSized; all
three were hardy men and used to
the water. and after some little delay
they succeeded in righting the boat
and started to bail her out, but there
was so much water in her that they
found it impossible.
Up TO their waists in water they
floated miserably for over two hours,
benumbed with cold and more dead
than alive. John, young English
man, aged q, became exhausted,
fioated off and was drowned. Dark
ness was coming on, and the two oc-
cupants of the boat had about given
up all hope of being saved, when, as
the boat was passing near FIsherton,
two daughters Of Nicholas O'Connor.
Miss Minnie and Miss Nellie. saw the
boat going by, and, IN the gathering
darkness, surmised something was
wrong, and pushing off rowboat the
two brave girls were quickly along
side, assisted the exhausted men to
their boat, and soon had them by a
comfortable fire where their wants
were attended to.
Raymond and Flamboy came down
to the city yesterday afternoon and
are loud in the praise of their rescu-
ers, saying to the exertions of the two
young ladies they owe their lives.
The body of their unfortunate COM
panion has not been recovered.

Another rule has been made and is
now being enforced tending TO ham,
per the already none-too-good postal
facilities of the country. 1t has been
customary at places where important
letters were written after the mail
had been closed, to put them on the
postal car of trains passing through,
thus avoiding days delay in wait

a recent order the postal railway ser
